Interventions

This research was carried out through a controlled, randomized, prospective, double-blind (evaluators and patients) and split-mouth clinical study. The description of the experimental design follows t
Bauru School of Dentistry, University of São Paulo, Brazil). The study involved the analysis of two factors: restorative material subdivided into 2 levels (control group: Equia Forte Fil (GC Corporati
and experimental group: G-aenial Universal Injectable syringe (GC Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) – 74 teeth, totaling 148 teeth
and time subdivided into 3 levels (baseline, 6 months and 1 year)
with the main outcome being sealant retention. Assessments were made using the modified USPHS (United State Public Health Service) method

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome: It is expected that there will be no difference between the two types of sealants, Equia Forte Fil and G-aenial universal injectable syringe, in terms of retention at baseline, 6 months and 12 months evaluation times.;Outcome Finding: It was observed by Cox regression analysis that the statistical difference between the first permanent molars that received ART sealants with Equia Forte Fil (GIC) and G-aenial universal injectable syringe (INJ) for the main outcome of sealant retention (p = 0.0118). The overall retention of the fully retained sealants was 71% after a 1-year follow-up. Therefore, according to the survival rate, the chance of success with GIC is 2.62 times higher than with INJ resin in the first permanent molars

Secondary
